There's no need for any approval, so feel free to upload here.
Here is: The track name's "Poodle Shortcut". My poodle was operated last week, that's why the name :D She's alright now.
Great!
Gentlemen, start your engines! 8)
Although it's quite a long track, it's one of the best circuits of the last few years.
"Blind" test with auto gears, 1:34.70. Winning time will be 1:15 or even better.
Nice track! Here's a 1'33.60 :D
1:29.60
1' 40.80" My first lap in USL! :D Posted without looking at anybody else's replays. I like to post my first lap on a track this way. My first blind try, however, wasn't as good (1' 56.50" :P)
Fine track indeed -- it will be a tough act for me to follow in Round 2! Opening with a 1:28.90.
1:36.95 :)
My replay attached: 1:32.15
Some improvement. Not easy for me!
:-[ I haven't even unpacked my laptop yet :-\
I hope to download the track tonight....
well, i have a time.
8)
first run was a little under 2 minutes,
this one is a little bit faster.. but not enough though...
1:42:40 ???
nice jump into the corkscrew. haha.
1:28.15
Where's Alan? ???

i was wondering the same thing myself..
From what I recall, Alan has never been a big fan of public replays rule. I guess he is leaving it for the last moment :)

Yeah, that's right. :-[ Sorry, since I don't have plenty of free time I send last time replays. Anyway the race ends tomorrow at night.
BTW I didn't see your replays but when I tested the track I thought the key would be in the initial corkscrew right/left on the hill. I learned that Lancia and corkscrew right/left is a good combination ;)
Now I'll finish building zct236 and then race a bit in Poodle ;D
Zct236 is priority because I want to deliver today before current track ends.
Enjoyable track, almost a pity there's only a week to race on it. Here's a 1'30.65 :)
A track made for Lancia ^_^ 1:21.15
Better get this done before I resume working on the track :D 1:23.35
Official: due to some private issues, I have no opportunity to play tonight. Therefore 1:28.15 is my final time. Too bad, I like this track very much.
On the other hand, Daniel3D's replays seem to be strange based on their small file size (couldn't check them so far). Do you use another version of Stunts?

I use 4D sports driving 1.1
But there is something. I can't load any replays from the options menu. I have to use the the replay interface...
I had to improvise because my laptop is still locked up. I used my work Chromebook...

I've had a look, and it is a normal replay except for being done at 10 fps (the "slow simulation speed" option), which is acceptable I guess, though suboptimal for the driver.
That's what I was thinking while you posted (and by have a browse through the wiki. The Chromebook has trouble with running dosbox, so I figured it would slow running and thus less ticks per replay.

You might want to try adjusting the number of cycles in DOSBox. While my usual recommendation is 20000, if that is too much for your computer it should be possible to lower it to 12000 or even 10000 and, if the Chormebook can handle that, still have a fluent game at 20 fps.

At least I'm very close to CAS, and not the lone man at the horizon when everyone else has already finished (like with the last live race 8))
That was a pleasant start, thanks CTG and Alan!
Now on to the next track :)
It was a good race! :)
